Missouri candidate tries to out-MAGA his rival by blowing up Trump evidence in new campaign ad

Clad in a fleece sweater vest, Will Scharf, an attorney for Donald Trump who wants to be Missouri’s next attorney general, fires a grenade launcher at a stack of evidence boxes and indictments in his latest campaign ad.

Scharf, who played a key role in Trump’s “immunity” defense from criminal prosecution and has vowed to fight his felony convictions in New York, is running in a Republican primary against the state’s current attorney general, Andrew Bailey, who is also competing for Trump’s attention with a series of lawsuits and complaints on his behalf.

Within the last few months, Bailey has sued the state of New York over a court-imposed gag order against Trump, testified to Congress about what he called the “politically motivated, legally specious, and corrupt prosecution” of the former president, and demanded that the Department of Justice turn over documents about Trump’s prosecutions.

Scharf’s campaign also was recently awarded $2 million by a Leonard Leo-backed organization with aims to reshape the nation’s judicial system in Trump’s image.
